    Great! Thanks for letting me know :)

  3. MS Fakes cause slow tests

    Hi Aaron - Yes - this is possible as a feature. In fact, you can probably rig NCrunch up to do this for you already. Assuming that you've already built the fakes assemblies using Visual Studio, you can include them using the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configurat…

  4. Grid Node Server on Azure VM: Start-up Issues

    Hi Seth - I've just done some extra testing around VM instances in Azure. The VM I've been testing with seems to be working OK, so I have a feeling this is something specific to your instance's configuration. Probably the NCrunch service is probing for network interfaces before all of these int…

  5. MS Fakes cause slow tests

    Hi Aaron - Thanks for posting! As far as I'm aware, the main performance bottleneck in MS Fakes is in the generation of the fakes assemblies. For large assemblies, this build task does not perform well at all. I have little experience with SharePoint but I would expect that SharePoint refere…

  6. NDepend Code Coverage

    Thanks for the feedback! I'm still looking at export formats, so I'll take your comments on board. I'm glad you're enjoying the product :)

  7. Filenames containing curly braces confuse the error window.

    Hi - Nice work picking this up. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the report! Cheers, Remco

  8. Remote server: Allow running test on a specific server without changing NCrunch config

    Thanks - I've made a note to look at ways of making this accessible via keyboard. NCrunch will instantiate a new test runner process when told to run the tests on a specific server. It's rare that people want to re-use old processes, so the decision was made to try and keep the options as simple…

  9. Remote server: Allow running test on a specific server without changing NCrunch config

    Hi - NCrunch does have exactly this feature :) When you're connected to remote servers, try right clicking on any test in the Tests Window. You should see an option under the context menu allowing you to choose to run the test on a specific server.

  10. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    [quote=GreenMoose;5259] Yeah it's 2. [/quote] Gotcha. Probably this would need to be a global client-side setting then. It might be tidier to make this solution-specific, but NCrunch's current solution&user-specific state is not designed for handling persistent configuration yet ... so it wou…

  11. NUnit ITestAction not executed in 2.4 (works in 1.48.5)

    Hi John - Sorry I've had no luck receiving your emailed attachment with this issue in it ... and your mail server seems to be blocking all replies I've sent to the email you contacted me with. It seems communication is being quite a challenge for us at the moment! Do you have a different email …

  12. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    [quote=GreenMoose;5254] But not for the grid node server AFACT? Wouldn't custom env. variables for each server be a quite natural fit for customizing behavior of them? (comparing with e.g. TeamCity and its build parameters options) [/quote] It's definitely true that there is more space for addi…

  13. Custom engine modes on remote server

    Hi, The engine modes themselves all happen on the client-side, and they basically determine what ends up in the processing queue. I think the solution you may be after here can be achieved using the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_test-filter]Test filte…

  14. NDepend Code Coverage

    Hi Paul - Thanks for the feedback. I'm due to implement some improved export capabilities soon. CSV is the expected format ... would this be of use to you? Cheers, Remco

  15. Grid Node Server on Azure VM: Start-up Issues

    Hi Seth, Thanks for sharing this issue. Making sure that the grid node service works correctly in Azure is fairly important as much of the intention behind the distributed processing is to make it work well with the cloud, so I'm very keen to help get this issue resolved. The first thing I'm …

  16. Enhancement to pinning / modes

    [quote=willdean;5244]Of course, this is usually about the point people start to ask for a plug-in model - as if that didn't require absolutely crippling long-term maintenance.[/quote] Absolutely :) I have been looking at ways this could be done. It's all still long term thinking though. There's…

  17. Non friendly error upon missing net 4.5 (?)

    Yes - this would be because NCrunch doesn't have a .NET 4.5 task runner at the moment. I had thought that the 4.5.1 one was compatible with machines that didn't have 4.5.1 installed, but this has turned out to be untrue. The simple workaround (which you've no doubt discovered) is to install v4.5.1…

  18. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    Rather than introducing a configuration setting, I'm wondering it perhaps it would be possible to gain a similar thing by having a fixed environment variable set that always held the name of the currently logged in user? For example, if 'Bob' is logged into the client machine, and he uses Grid No…

  19. NCrunch Grid: How to debug error on grid server?

    Hi, thanks for posting. Unfortunately, remote debugging on grid nodes is not yet supported by NCrunch. Because of this, if you try to debug a test when in 'grid only mode', the projects will build locally and the test will run locally. Remote debugging is a complex area that requires either…

  20. VS 2013 crashes

    Hi Gaz - Thanks for sharing this issue. Can you describe the nature of the crash? Is it a typical windows exception dialog that then tears down the whole process? NCrunch is fairly resilient in its handling of exceptions - it will catch them and report them in the Output window when they occ…
